"The only purely literary work that remains to us from Masqueray are his memories and Visions d'Afrique. He shows himself seduced by the Algerian decor, like so many others before him. But he didn't stop there; he sought to analyze the most intimate ideas and feelings of these barbarians; his historical erudition, far from harming, revealed to him the hidden reasons for the gestures and ways of being of his characters "
